If you have excess jewelry and old coins, now is the time to cash in on them. The place to go for the best offer is Gemco Coins & Jewelry, Columbus’ most trusted coin and jewelry dealer. The gold and silver market changes every hour, just like the stock market. As such, the value of your jewelry and coins changes all the time. The only constant you can count on is that you will get a fair offer from Gemco owner Greg Martin. “I’m going to be fair,” Martin says. “I’m the only coin dealer in town that has no marks against him with the Better Business Bureau.” Recently, a local news station went to several different jewelry and coin buyers to see who was offering the best prices. The results confirmed that if you are looking to sell, Gemco is the place to go. “We were offering 10 to 50 percent more than all the others,” Martin said. Examples of the types of jewelry Gemco buys include class rings or other types of rings, necklaces, earrings, chains and bracelets — new or broken. Martin is interested in your gold, silver, platinum or costume jewelry. “When we offer a price in the paper, we pay what we offer as long as the market doesn’t change drastically,” Martin said. You might have some very valuable pieces in your possession, and Martin will show you exactly what he will pay for them and what he will sell them for. Gemco Coins & Jewelry is located at 5311 W. Broad St., in the Saxton Real Estate building, just west of Norton Road. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call (614) 878-COIN (2646). The prices for gold and silver may change, but not the level of trust or service you receive from Gemco. *Undamaged, prices subject to change due to market fluctuations.
